Macrium Reflect is a complete backup and disaster recovery solution. Reflect can backup files and folders into a compressed mountable archive file or your entire PC into a single image.
Using this image you can restore the entire disk, partition or individual files and folders. You can create full, differential and incremental images to optimize backup speed and disk space requirements.
Images can be stored on local or network drives, CD or DVD media, and removable drives connected using USB or Firewire (IEEE1394). In the event of a total loss of the Windows operating system your PC can be started using the Reflect recovery CD.
This CD starts a compact version of the Linux operating system with a familiar mouse and graphical interface. You can then easily recover partitions and even entire disk images with just a few clicks.
Here are some key features of "Macrium Reflect":
· Backup & Restore
· Create a single backup file of a complete hard disk
· Create a single backup file of one or many partitions
· Restore a partition to a different type. e.g. a logical partition can be restored as a bootable primary partition
· Resize the restored partition. A hard disk upgrade can easily be perfomed by increasing the partition to fill the new disk.
· Track 0 (The Master Boot Record) is saved with all backups.
· Backup files can be saved to local or network drives or optical storage (CD, DVD).
· Disk image can be created whilst Windows is in use. A special driver ensures that the disk image represents an exact point in time and will not be affected by disk access that may occur during the backup process.
· Verify images. Images (Backup files) can be seperately verified or automatically verified before restore.
· System files such as 'pagefile.sys' and 'hiberfile.sys' are not included in the image. This reduces the final backup file size greatly.
· Three compression levels can be selected to optimize between file size and speed.
· Password protect images to prevent unauthorized access.
· Set image filenames automatically.
· Scheduling
· Schedule daily, weekly or monthly.
· Unattended completion.
· Automatic incremental / differential images.
· Automatic disk space management for local / remote hard drives.
· Full logging of all backup operations. HTML log reports are generated and can be viewed using Reflect's built in browser.
Limitations:
· 30 days trial
